Houston - our 2nd first round pick
-
I'm guessing there's no way we actually pick a player with both picks...... Sashi will trade out of one - or both.
I bet he'll pick a QB with the #1 and trade down with the Houston pick, because there are going to be many teams interested in being in the top 10 I believe (being a draft with many QBs).

You might be right.
But holy hell, this team does not need more draft picks. They will most likely have four picks in the top 40 or so picks. If anything they should trade UP and go strictly for QUALITY, not quantity in this draft.

You may hate me for what I'm about to say, but I would trade down if we went from #7 to #12, for example, in exchange for some picks in this very draft and the next.
It would most likely be because our trade partner and another team between #7 and #12 want a QB, so probably between the pick we had and the one we changed our position with, we will really miss 3 spots because we already have our QB. Then we take BPA (#12 is still a good position) and maybe by the end of the Day 1 we have more picks for Day 2 and 3, and next draft.
And it would give us a bigger chance to trade up maybe into 1st round with any or your early 2nd round picks, like we did last year, so we would have 3 first round picks.
It would be different if we had to trade down many spots, like this year when we went to #25, if I recall correctly.

Under normal circumstances I might agree. But two factors enter in here. #1 is we need some really high quality players for a fan base that is desperate to see some wins immediately and #2 this FO has made some horrid picks in trade downs. I don't trust them. Time to take BPA and maybe even trade away lower rounds to move up more. We need about 5 real high quality players to drop into this team to become an 8-8 team (after we ditch Hue-he sucks that bad).

I guess it all depends right now. Depends on who is available, what we decide to do with the first pick, and what position is our biggest need. I tend to agree with you in that I don't want to see a trade down of any level in the first round, but I also don't want to be blind from a killer deal. We get our QB at #1, and then if the guy we peg as our next pick will be there 4-6 slots down the round, it might be a worthwhile move to make.
The Texans' pick will most certainly be a valuable one, and we surely benefited from a horrible injury suffered by Deshaun Watson, but the absolute earliest it can be is probably 7th. If they somehow lose out the next 4 games (something I seriously doubt btw), then it can possibly go as high as 5 or 6...but that's stretching it. The Texans play the 49's next (boooo), then the Steelers (yay), the Jags (yay), and then the Colts (boooo). Realistically, I think the Texans can go 2-2 in that stretch, but now that the 49's have Garoppolo, that game might be tough for them. Heck, if the 49's could just execute in the red zone, their game against the Bears would not have been CLOSE. Red zone woes...hmmmm...sound familiar? Anyways, their pick will be in the 7-9 range, and that's still a heck of a resource!
The bad news? Well, this draft is about as weak as I've ever seen for "top of the line" talent. Maybe that's just me. Hopefully I'm wrong (per the norm).

I'll bet that Sashi won't be picking anything....except maybe picking up his unemployment check.

No you won't.... I know... I've offered.

This is now pick #6
Not impossible the Browns get the first two picks in the draft, Houston are in Jacksonville next week

Man, I have to wonder what the 'record' is for the 2 highest picks for one team?
-
Wow.... crazy. I need to look up who they picked.....
"The season is notable for the Redskins drafting future Pro Bowlers Lavar Arrington and Chris Samuels with the second and third overall picks respectively in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft."
So there's hope after all..............

Hooker on IR or Peppers and Fitzpatrick/James ?

So in your hypothetical Hooker is on the IR next season too?

Fair enough
Hooker coming off of IR in his 2nd year
Or
Peppers in his 2nd year (at SS) and rookie Fitzpatrick/James,

In 1992 Indianapolis had #1 AND #2.
Can only pray it turns out better for us than it did for them.

You mean the Colts don't have a pick in next year's first round?
-
The Colts are irrelevant.
We had pick 12 in 2017 or what we turned it into, pick 25 in 2017 and potentially a top 5 2018 pick. I'm assuming that's going to be the top FS this year in my scenario
